Welcome! This is the NEW web home of Quit Binge Eating and the Progress Not Perfection Podcast. I’m trying to clean things up and get caught up. Been super busy with family, a major medical condition with one of my sons (things are SO MUCH BETTER NOW), home schooling that son and of course running my business. But soon I will be able to focus on what I love, recording and producing MY OWN podcasts and content and connecting with you.

Alen Standish announces the Inner Effort Podcast and describes the future of Progress Not Perfection.

Each episode of Inner Effort is an intimate discussion with a courageous guest about the details and mental hurdles of their own personal struggles (past or present, big or small) and the unseen Inner Efforts (e.g. self-coaching techniques, coping tactics, mental tools, resources, etc.) they used to motivate and help themselves during a typical day and through difficult moments.

You can find the Inner Effort podcast on iTunes or at www.innereffort.com. There are already several new episodes of Inner Effort available that you can listen to right now with new episodes coming each week! Make sure you subscribe to the new podcast to continue the conversation!

After almost 130 interviews with men and women from around the world, Sam will tell you, it’s all between the ears.
